Clerk is best for small dev teams or solo developers building web apps who want to skip the headache of coding login and user management from scratch. The free tier covering 10,000 monthly active users is genuinely generous, and the pre-built components save real development time. The catch is that this is a developer tool — if you're not building a custom app, it's not for you.
